Subversion RSS and Email Notifications

Subversion Repository RSS Feeds

Users may subscribe to a single consolidated Activity Stream RSS feed for all of their repositories, or subscribe to specific repositories individually. This is a great way to keep in sync with other members of your development team, or passively monitor your team’s progress. Each time a user performs a commit, that commit is exposed in the RSS feed. Each entry includes the commit message, date and time of the commit, and list of all files that were added, modified, or deleted in the commit.

Users can use any RSS reader they like including Outlook, Internet Explorer, or even Google reader.

Commit Email Notifications

As an alternative to RSS feeds, each repository can be configured to automatically email all users of that repository each time a commit is made. Email notifications are immediate and help keep your team in sync. Each email notification includes the commit message and full change history. This allows your users to quickly scan the changes and decide if they should update their working copy to the latest revision to avoid merge conflicts later.

Sublime can be configured to send email through your own internal SMTP server, or even an external mail server such as Google Apps. Repository owners can turn email notifications on or off for each individual repository they own.
